The list of 2007 adjacent public holidays that are covered by the Decreto Supremo 055-2006-PCM of August 22, 2006 is as follows: Tuesday January 2, Monday April 30, Thursday June 28, Monday July 30, Friday August 31, Tuesday October 9, Friday November 2, Monday December 24, and Monday December 31.

Note that the aforementioned decree specifically only refers to December 7, in 2006, and specifies that it only otherwise concerns 2007 public holidays. It thus leaves open the question of whether this will be repeated in 2008 and beyond. Based on the date of the original decree, one can expect news concerning 2008, around the end of August 2007.

The broad outlines of this decree were announced to the press last month (2006-08-22), but the specific dates had not been released.
